That's the most baffling thing about this band. There's so much they've written and recorded and played live, but they refuse to release it, even when they know it would sell. I used to think it was some sort of way to preserve integrity, but now I think it's just laziness and disinterest.

So true it hurts. Dave wrote an amazing homage to the Pandemic that the majority of people were clamoring to buy and then did nothing with it.
The Batson Sessions leaked a long while back to more praise and enraptured fans, diddly squat happened.
The band haven't toured for a whole year and presumably have large overheads (crew, management, storage, security) and don't release anything from their back catalogue.
I mean, they have stacks of recorded material that they could release for the fans. Stuff that's been sitting around for years even after being toured (Shotgun, Sugar Will, Bismarck, Death on the High Seas, etc.)
Oh, and we are all still waiting for a BTCS re-release. It defies belief.
